oua TO certain members OF a society Of the

union should not only DO able to exist,

each members family would receive 81, 500

Tho proposition to substitute list made
By conference committee cannot be
adopted. Since that list was made tho
manufacturors Of both pressed and blown
ware have fully compared numbers made
In the various factories, and have found
the greatest inequalities and discrimina.
tionB exciting, which they have overcome
by uniform lists.
Another reason Is TINT even larger mum.
bers Of very staple article arc made in q
factory which is said to be under union
rulee. Outside factories are springing up,
run by green or non.union men or boys,
which arc ablo to lundorsell ,us because
Of larger numbers made and lees wages,
To meet this competition and the prices
made by importers and foreign manufsc.
turers' agenta We need theae reyisions OF
numbers and moves.
The wages Of gatherers arc 10 remain as
on the various Lists We have submitted to
you.
In conclusion. we desire to say, that we
know Of no sufficient cause for the pres.
emit strike ordered by your President,
pending the thirty days consideration Of
our PROFESSIONS. We have hermonizsd on,
views, adopted uniform wage and mum.
Der list on pressed and blown ware, and VIC
are ready to fill in and begin work the frs!
OF the coming year. Wo would be glad to
have more friendly feeling exis! to wards
us on the part Of our employee. Once
agree on these rules, wages and numbers
for year and our intelests become the
same, SO that; tho worker may have
full employment, and the employer, un-
embarrassed by labor question o,
new rules, could give all bis energies tc
the proper conduct and development Of
bis business.
